I am grateful that the dangers of using technology in the classroom was addressed and that potential solutions were given.  I am a digital immigrant in that I am trying to embrace technology and utilize it in the classroom.  This training made me determined to become more technology savvy so that I can be credible when introducing it into the classroom.

This training session will be beneficial to class planning for the classes I teach as I have a diverse population including Gen Y students.  This training gave me guidance and direction on how to better engage students in being accountable for learning.  Because I learned of their general characteristics, I am better able to adapt my style of teaching to suit their learning needs.   Learning should be fun and I will integrate ways which appeal to all the generations in my class and this training made me aware of all the generational characteristics of the Veterans (Silent Generation), Baby Boomers,… >>>

After completing this training, I understand the importance of utilizing technology in the classroom and I am now aware of the dangers of using technology.   I am going to ensure that I can properly use the technology before utiliizing it in front of the class.

This information is invaluable to me as an instructor especially because I have many GEN Y students and I want to make sure I can reach them so that learning is successful.  This training gave me insight into all the generations and how I couldrelate to a diverse classroom and this knowledge will let me address the student population appropriately and effectively.   Understanding and awareness are two key components to relating to a diverse student population.
